2006 Rockford Rod and Spur Shiraz Cabernet

An iconic Australian blend from one of Australia’s cult wineries. The 2006 is in a good place, having benefitted from time in the bottle. The wine is a deep red that is just starting to fade around the rim, the nose shows dark fruits of both plum and blackberry with savoury olive complexity in the background.

It is soft on entry with dark fruits well integrated with vanillin oak, the tannins become more evident on the mid to back palate with some of the primary fruit starting to fade. The wine shows cabernet dominant blackberry and grainy savoury characters to finish; Drinking well now
